10 TOGUARD AGAI.VST F EVER HKpecto RS TO BE PLACED ON THE FLORIDA TRAIN’S K{ Health Board's Recommendations h|b the City Council-Committees to Sent to Jacksonville and Tampa Vft Investigate the Quarantine Meth- RSSIs in Florida—What the Sanitary is Doing. The sanitary board held a meeting l.vt Bight and determined to ask for a special meeting of the Council to-morrow. It will recommend to the Council that an inspector be placed at Waycross or some point north of that station on the line of the Savannah, Florida and Western railway to examine all {versons coming from infected places and prevent them from entering the city unless it is satisfactorily shown that they are in no way capable of endangering the public health, and committees from the sanitary board or some representatives be sent to Jacksonville and Tampa to see whether the quarantine regulations at those points are enforced with sufficient strictness. THE HEALTH BOARD’S PLAN. Health Officer McFarland was seen last night, and he said that it is the intention of the board to be prompt in taking precautions to prevent the bringing of yellow fever here and to use its utmost endeavor to keep it away. He stated positively that the people need have no apprehensions of the tacts being kept from them, for if the disease should come here the fact that there is even a single case will at once ■■made known. He did not think, how- Br, there is anv danger of itsheing brought Key West is the same or nearly |B> same as that of Havana, where there is fever all the year, y*'What will be the duty of the inspectors board wishes to send out,” the doctor asked.

The city should be sur finupded by armed guards and no one should to enter unless they have certificates. If the disease spreads in Savannah will quarantine everv district, and, if necessary, the State, provided Gov. Gordon will his consent, and of that I think there is rflpoubt.

They are thor oughly flushed out once a week, and I have jpven" orders to have them disinfected with copperas. I will use over 100 barrels of cop peras.” Dr. McFarland repeated his statement that the sanitary board will disregard the effect it will have on commerce, and will warn t.be people as soon as there is any rea son to apprehend danger. GEN. ALEXANDER'S PLAN Outlined Before the Pacific Railway Commission. Gen. E. P. Alexander, formerly a govern ment director in the Union Pacific, was Ix-- fore the Pacific Railroad Investigating Com mittee on Thursday. In the two years lie was director he made three trips over the road and attended all the meetings. He made investigations into the earning power of the road and his conclusions were em bodied in the annual report of the govern ment directors. Gen. Alexander gave at. length his views on the policy of the road in regard to branch lines. Briefly, he said, no man who has ex amined the country through which the road runs could doubt for a moment that the branch lines would be the mainstay of the system, and were necessary to the development of the country from ftwhich the road must get its earnings. In ■regard to the future relations of the gov ■eroment to the Union Pacific, Gen. Aiexan ■der said that it was plain that the present ■System was a hardship on both sides. The ■first step should be to give up an annual ■payment based on any earnings whatever Band substitute therefor a fixed amount. Binder the present lews the government was Hknade a quasi partner with tne road and with right thereby to go into the minutest dr of its work. Constant differences of arose in consequence that could only Hie settled by long and expensive legislation. ■ To Mr. Adams, Gen? Alexander gave his previous experience in railroading and his present holdings in the Central Railroad and Banking Company of Georgia. He is thor oughly familiar with the system of con struction mileage in use by the roads of the country, and lie thought* the scale adopted by the Union Pacific for its branches* was very low—that is, the branches were not given enough. THE ORDER OF ELKS. An Organization Likely to beJSfTected in Savannah. There has been for some time a good deal of interest in the organization of a lodge of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks iu Savannah. One or two informal meetings have been held with a view to ap plying for a charter as soon as the jH'dlindnai ieK of organization can be settled. The oitler is widelv known and popular iu the North and \Vesf. but it is yet n rew order in the South. Chattanooga is about to apply for a charter, and steps have already I icon token to organise a lodge them Louisville, Ky., and Baltimore aio the nearest cjties where ttio order is estab lished. It is universally recognized a; u leading protection and benevolent organiza tion, and when once established its popu larity is assured. Olfioials of the onus' in the North have been asked for instructions as>fo the proper proceedings iu orgauzing, and it is understood that n charter will 1> applied for at an early date.

J udge Speer handed down four decisions yesterday in cases that have come before him during the term. In the case of ’Wil liams, Clark & Cos. vs. John Barfield, a mo tion for anew trial wras overruled. The plea as to jurisdiction in the case of Charles Green's Son & Cos. vs. Ramon Salas was overruled, the court holding that Salas was a citizen of Spain. In the case of Mary D. Laninr vs. Allison & Britton the court granted the injunction restraining Allison and Britton from cutting timber on the complainant’s land, but sus tained the demurrer as to want of equity on the other counts. In the case of J and H. Mann vs. Appel Bros, and Julius Perlinski, suit on account, the defendants had entered a demurrer, in which they claimed that there was relief for the plaintiffs at law. The bill sets forth that Appel Bros, lx;ught #30,000 worth of goods from various firms in the North, and before the bills came due executed fraudu lent mortgages upon them, one to Julius Perlinski, their uncle, for §5,000; that Per linski foreclosed and on ten days’ notice sold out the goods and bought them in for #<l,ooo. The plaintiffs ask that the court cancel the mortgages and declare Perlinski the t rustee for the creditors and require him to account for the value of the goods. WILLIAM SWOLL DEAD. .Hie Death the Result of a Paralytic Stroke The Funeral. Mr. William Swell died at 10 o'clock yes terday morning at his residence, No. 167 Perry street, after a brief illness from a paralytic Stroke. Mr. Swoll was 63 years old. He was born in Westphalia. Hanover, June 15. 1*34. and came to this country when 9 years old, landing in New York. From there he came to Savannah and has resided here since, with the exception of one or two years of his early life, which he spent in Ef fingham county. In 1848 he married Miss Maria Greer, of this city. His wife and three daughters. Mrs. A. A. Winn, All's. E. E Cheatham and Miss WillieSwoll, survive him. Mr. Swoll has for a number of years had charge of the city scavenger department. He was also at one time messenger of Coun cil and was a constable for several years. He acquired a handsome property and owned considerable real estate. He wits a member of Landrum Lodge F. A. M.. and was forty-two years a member of the Repub lican Blues. He wfls also a member of the Hibernian Society. His funeral will take place from his late residence at 4 o'clock this afternoon, and will be athffided by Landnun Lodge and the Republican Blues. THE STRIKERS WEAKENING. The Lumber Longshoremen to Resume Work To-Morrow. There was a hitch in the settlement of the longshoremen's strike yesterday, but it was insignificant and will not interfere with an agreement heiug reached to-morrow. The Captains would not consent to the discharge of the nan who had leen em ployed in the longshoremen's places until their week has expired. They were hired for tho week and the Captains wanted them to get a week’s work. To-morrow the stevedores will be ready to take back the old men, and those who desire to return to work will lie permitted to do so. The steve dores, however, do not intend to give in to the demand that a gang of fourteen men shall Ve worked all the time. They are decided that they will employ only what men they want and no more. The indications arc that t he longshoremen will give up trying to force this demand, as they are receiving great concessions .in the matter of wages, and the consent of the stevedores not to work onv more sailors. It is also prohablp because they want to go hack to work and they cannot do so tmless they give up that idea. SHORT LINE PEOPLE ENJOINED. Judge Adams Grants an Order Against the Disposing of the Road. Judge Adams sat in chambers yesterday to hear the arguments on an injunction asked for by the creditors of the Savannah, Dublin and Western Short Line Railroad Company. There were several cases against the railroad on the acceptances of drafts drawn by W. H. Ferguson & Cos. pending in the City Court. The cases would have been tried on Tuesday last, but Screven and O’Hagan, who claimed to be sub-contrac tors under Ferguson, obtained frohi the Superior Court a temporary order restrain ing the plaintiffs from’ prosecuting their suits. The creditors have now gone before the Superior Court and asked for an order compelling the railroad company to make a statement of accounts; that a master lie appointed to take charge of the road, and the company he restrained from mortgaging or selling any of its prop erty until the case can he disposed of. A temporary injunction was granted until Tuesday, when a final heal ing will be had. He Paid for His Fun. James Cassidv, whose wild and reckless ride through the cify caused his artpst on Friday, was before the Mayor in Police Court yesterday, charged with drunkenness and disorderly conduct, disorderly riding through the streets, and assaulting C. W’ark meister, driver of a United States mail wagon, who went to Policeman 11. M. Mor gan 1 s assistance and tried to assist the offi cer in securing (’nssidy. The Mayor, after, hearing the caw. gave Cassidy the altcrn i tive between a fine of AJO or thirty days imprisonment for the first two offenses and sin or twenty davs foirthe third, making $.")0 altogether. He paid the line. Thirty-Six Years in the Post Office.

George B. Lee Slips Up in His Little Game of Money-Getting. One of tlie clumsiest attempts at forgery on record was made yesterday by George B. Lee, a young man quite well known in Savannah. Late yesterday afternoon Lee walked into Livingston's Pharmacy, at Bull and State streets, and asked for Mr. Livingston. He had snime sort of a paper in his hand, and when Mr. Livingston ennie up to the coun ter where be was standing lee presented a check for 810 33 on the Southern Bank signed by Mr. Horace A. Crane, the bank’s Vice President, and drawn in favor of Mrs. Lee, whom he said was his mother, which he wanted cashed. Mr. Livingston told Lee that he did not know him, but that if lie would get the check indorsed he would cash it. This Lee sail he could do, and bo started off to get the indorsement. In a few minutes he came hack with the check indorsed by A. R. Salas. Mr. Liv ingston noticed at once a similarity in the signatures of the signer and indorser. Both were clumsily written and evidently by the ' same person. His suspicions were immediately aroused, and he telephoned Mr. Salas to know whether he had indorsed the check. Air. Salas replied that he had not, and at once started for the store where Lee was. He met the young man on the sidewalk and asked him for the paper. Lee handed it to him. and Mr. Salas at once pronounced the indorsement a forgery. “Why you’re not the man that backed it.” Lee explained. “It was another man out on the White Bluff road.” A little inquiry showed that lee worked his game very clumsily, and that he either did not know what he was doing or else he is a very bugling fellow. W ueu he left the pharmacy to get the check indorsed he went to the Alarshall House and asked Mr. Dave Einstein, pro prietor of the cigar counter, to write Mr. Salas' name on the back of the paper. Mr. Einstein looked at the check and then at Lee, thinking there might be a joke about the matter, but I assured him there was not. He asked Lee if be knew what he was doing and handed the check tiack to him. and Lee then got a pen and placed Mr. Salas name on the back of the check and went out. This was how the indorsement was secured and Air. Crane’s signature was prohably obtained in the same way. While talking with Air. Salas in front of the pharmacy Leo tore the check in pieces and threw them away. Before presenting it to Air. Livingston lie went into LaFar’s furnishing goods store, where be owed a bill of #1 30. and asked one of the clerks to cash the check and deduct the amount of his bill. He was told to Re<* Mr. LaFar, who was not in the store at the time, but he did not re turn. THOUGHT HE WAS MURDERED. A Would-Be-Killod Darkey’s Fright and His Anxiety for a Hearse. At 3 o’clock yesterday morning a frightful disturbance occurred at the intersection of South Broad and Whitaker streets. The locality is usually a quiet one, partic ularly 7 after midnight, when the last piano has been closed for a rest until the dawn of the next day, The astonishment and alarm of the residents may be imagined, therefore, when they were suddenly awakened by a terrific yell. “Oh! Oh! Lordy! Lordy! Lordy 7 !” some body shrieked, almost before the yell ceased to ec ho up ami down the streets. Half a dozen windows were hastily opened and as many voices queried: “What’s the matter?” “Oh! Oh! Lordy! Lordy! Lordy!” came from a man lying flat upon the pavement;. Two or three gentlemen slipped on what garments they could find in the dark and hastened out. They expected to find some body with fifteen or twenty bullet holes in him, or double that number of stabs. In the meantime yells and shrieks contin ued to make the early 7 morning hideous. The gentleman who arrived upon the scene first found a negro man lying on the {lavement, apparently struggling in the death agony. “What is the matter!” the gentleman asked. “Oh! Oh! Lordy! Lordy! Lordy!” the negro shrieked. “Who shot you?” ‘"Oh! Oh! Lordyi Lordy! Lordy! Bend fora—a hearse!” “Are you shot? Are you cut? Any r bndy knock you down J” “Oh! Oh, liordy! Lordy! Lordy! Be Lamb ’ecive my spirit! I’s a dead nigger!” By this time several other gentlemen had arrived. The negro was carefully exam ined, but no sign of a wound could tie found. There was not even the slightest evidence of a bruise. By persuasion and threats the no gro was induced to tell his story, which, without embellishments, was this: A* he was passing down Whitaker street some body jumped at him from the corner of South Broad and said “Booh!” He was frightened out of his wits, and fell upon the uavemeut and set up a yelling and shrieking that awoke the whole neighbor hood. The gentlemen, who expected to find somebody shot or cut to piece*, retired to their homes anil lieds, and left the-thought he-was-murdered darkey still lying on the pavement. Local Personal. United States District Attorney Guerry left last night for A!aeon. Judge Steel-, United States Marshal Lamar anil (ilerk Erwin will go up to-day.

The Old Masonic Hall and Little Cigar Shop to be Torn Down to Males Room for the New Whitfield Building— History and Traditions of the Old Kouses-Events That Have Trans pired Under Their Roofs. The work of removing two of the old landmarks of Savanna'll will begin to morrow to make room for the “Whitfield - ’ building at the corner of Whitaker, Presi dent and State streets. The old weather-beaten and time stained buildings which, for years, have been an eye-sore to the neighborhood, were in their day edifices of some pretensions, and doubtless when they were erected they attracted the attention of the good people of the then little town. AS HISTORIC STRUCTURE. The building on the southeast corner of President and Whitaker streets, little and insignificant as it now looks, was once a well known public house or inn. It was built in 1195 by William Childs, who leased the property from Solomon’s Lodge of Free masons. It wus at that tune about on the outer edge of the town, and it is related that it was a favorite place with the gentlemen of that day. The members of Solo mon's Lodge “rode the goat” somewhere in the building, whether it was in the little back parlor or up in tbs old attic, the deponent safth not, but the records of the lodge show that quite a number of prominent revolutionary heroes took their degrees in the old building. Tradition says that there were several marriages in the old tavern from which sprung some of the best known Georgia families. The ancient build ings glory departed long ago, and in the memories of the living it has always been a quaint old cigar shop. THE OLD MASONIC HALL. The history of the old Masonic Hall is quite interesting. The first movement look ing to its erection was at a meeting of the lodge held on March Id, 1786. Brother Da- Costa took the initiatory by presenting, as his contribution, the ent ire frame of a house. Brother T. Anderson offered to raise the same without expense, and Brother John Habersham contributed the shingles neces sary to cover the same. The building was commenced in 1798, and had progressed so well that on March 20, 179!), the brethren of Solomon's Lodge No. 1. Hiram Lodge No. 2, and the officers of the Grand Lodge, assembled for the purpose of laying the corner stone of the first Masonic building erected within the limits of this State. The procession was formed at the “Filature,'’ and marched to the. site of the proposed edifice, where, to quote from the records, “Right Worshipful Master James Box Young, Senior Warden of the Grand Lodge of Georgia, by particular request of Solo mon’s Lodge No. 1. placed the foundation stone in operative Masonic order, and depos ited the emblems of corn, wine and oil, and various pieces of Federal money, in the hol low square in the centre of the same. The Grand Senior Ward® then pronounced an elegant oration suitable to the occa sion.” THE CORNER STONE LOST. Search was made for this corner stone in 1858, but “the stone which was lost could not be found.” It is probable, however, that it will be “brought to light” in a few days, and under the conditions of the origi nal sale made by th“ lodge will be “restored to its intended lire.” The Masonic building made slow progress, and in April, ISO), it was deter mined to raise it seven feet from the ground. From this action it may be in ferred it was originally intended that the building should only be two stories in height, and the brick basement w as an after thought.. Brother S'tneon Wright on the night above alluded to gave *lO toward raising the building; stillits construction was further delayed for the want of funds, when, at last, in October, 1800, a lottery scheme was devised for the purpose of ac complishing the desired object, and it was proposed to issue tickets to the number of 100, to the value of $lO each, re deemable alternately on the first, and 15th of each month, until the redemption was concluded, the tickets being numbered from one to 100, and the lowest number to take the precedence. By this scheme the requisite amount was realized, the work pushed forward rapidly, and on Saturday afternoon, Dec. 5, 1801. the Masonic fra ternity assembled to dedicate the first Ma sonic ilall built in Georgia, which was done with tlie usual ceremonies. VISITED BY LAFAYETTE. Among the distinguished brethren who presided in the old hall was Gen. Lafay ette, who visited the Lodge in 1826. Solomon’s Lodge occupied the building for fifty-seven years. In 1N54 it was decided to sell it, and it was purchased, together with the adjoining lot. by the city for the pur pose of erecting a guard house. But this intention was subsequently abandoned, and the property was resold by the city to the late John J. Kelly, who' bequeathed it to the Union Society. The society has desired to improve the property ever since it owned it, but was not in a condition to do so until recently. A portion of the legacy left by the late W. F Holland will be used in the erection of two handsome stores truing on Whitaker street, for which plans are now being prepared, A contract bus been given out for the removal of the old buildings and excavat ing the cellars for the new structure. The buildings will be sold at auction to-morrow by Mr. Dorsett, and the work of excavating will commence on Tuesday. Charleston Happenings. C. H.

Kay ton, of Hermann & Kayton, has just returned from Baltimore where he has tieen visiting his father, a well-known optician, who is now over 80 years of age. While there Mr. Kayton visited the office of the Baltimore Sun for the purpose of examining the tiles of that paper for Nov. 23,1843. His father was interpreter for the court in Bat timore in that year during the trial of Adam Horn, the celebrated wife murderer. The Sun was anxious to secure a likeness of Horn to print ns the people of Balti more took a deep interest, in the case. Alter endeavoring to do so in many ways, without, success, the proprietor ap plied to Mr. Kayton, Sr., who was a. skill ful artist, to sketch Horn as he appeared in the dock, and he did so. It was this picture which appeared in this issue of the Sun of Nov. 23, 1843.
